I have been reading this book and I recommend it to you all.
Here is a poem by Dale Witherington titled "The Lifebuilder's Creed", it's on the book Today Matters by John C Maxwell on page 13. I want to share this with you. I have been reading this in the mornings for a week now and it really helps to motivate me to get my day going in the right direction.smileys/smiley4.gif

Today is the most important day of my life.
Yesterday with its successes and victories, struggles and failures
Is gone forever.
The past is past.
Done.
Finished.
I cannot relive it. I cannot go back and change it.
But I will learn from it and improve today.
Today. This moment. NOW.
It is God’s gift to me and it is all that I have.
Tomorrow with all its joys and sorrows, triumphs and
Troubles isn’t here yet.
Indeed, tomorrow may never come.
Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.
Today is what God has entrusted to me.
It is all that I have. I will do my best in it.
I will demonstrate the best of me in it-
My character, giftedness, and abilities-
To my family and friends, clients and associates.
I will identify those things that are most important
To do Today,
And those things I will do until they are done.
And when this day is done
I will look back with satisfaction at that
Which I have accomplished.
Then, and only then, will I plan my tomorrow,
Looking to improve on Today, with God’s help.
